Azure Page Blobs pricing

Page Blobs

Page Blobs are optimised for random read and write options. Page Blobs are ideal for scenarios that require the ability to overwrite a random small segment at a known address, such as storing index-based and sparse data structures. Page blobs can be accessed through REST protocol or attached to a VM to support disk traffic as Unmanaged Disks.

US government entities are eligible to purchase Azure Government services from a licensing solution provider with no upfront financial commitment or directly through a pay-as-you-go online subscription.

Important: The price in R$ is merely a reference; this is an international transaction and the final price is subject to exchange rates and the inclusion of IOF taxes. An eNF will not be issued.

Azure Germany is available to customers and partners who have already purchased this, doing business in the European Union (EU), the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and in the United Kingdom (UK). It provides data residency in Germany with additional levels of control and data protection. You can also sign up for a free Azure trial.

You can attach Premium Page Blobs to VM sizes with the “s” denomination for Premium Unmanaged Disk support (for example, Dsv1, Dsv2 and Gs). It is also recommended to use Managed Disks for VM persistent Storage for higher availability.

Pricing for Premium Page Blobs depends on:

Size of disks provisioned.

There are no transaction costs for Premium Page Blobs.

Your Premium Page Blob is charged based on the lowest type that supports your target size.

* Azure does not support attaching P60 as a disk to VMs at this time. P60 is only supported as Page Blobs accessible through REST.

We also support three additional page blob types that require you to deploy with Blob Tier set explicitly. If you deploy the page blob or unmanaged disks only specifying the target size, it will be rounded up to the supported page blob types listed in the table above.

Standard Page Blob prices

Standard Page Blobs use hard disk drive (HDD)-based storage media. They are best suited for development, testing and other infrequently accessed workloads that are less sensitive to performance variability.

Data transfer prices for Disks and Page Blobs

When you write data into GRS accounts, that data will be replicated to another Azure region. The Geo-Replication Data Transfer charge is for the bandwidth of replicating that data to another Azure region. This charge also applies when you change the account replication setting from LRS to GRS or RA-GRS.

Operations prices for Page Blobs used as Unmanaged Disks

We charge $- per 10,000 transactions for Standard Page Blobs attached to VM and used as Unmanaged Disks. Any type of operation against against Unmanaged Disks is counted as a transaction, including reads, writes and deletes.

Operations prices for Page Blobs (Non-Disks)

Page Blob transactions that are not performed through a VM are billed on a per-transaction basis. For each transaction, a single operation is billed as either a write, read or delete operation. If a read or write transaction is larger than 64 KB, an additional read or write input/output (IO) is billed for each additional 64 KB, up to a maximum of 15 IOs per transaction. If the transaction is larger than 1 MB (64 KB x (1 transaction + 15 IOs)), no further IOs will be charged, regardless of the size of the transaction.
